NASA is one organization which is not easily accessible to the general public due to the high level of work that happens under its roofs. Products like cheap 3D scanner and NASA R2 (the first human like robot in space) can only be virtually experienced on the Internet and access to them in reality for the general public is a distant dream. And, under such circumstances when you get to see a NASA hasselblad camera available on eBay for sale then things do look fishy at times even if they are super geniune.

This is what Wikipedia has to say about Haselblad cameras from NASA:

In 1962, NASA began to use Hasselblad cameras on space flights, and to request design modifications. The first motor-driven camera, the 500EL, appeared in 1965[3] as a result of NASA requests. While Hasselblad had enjoyed a slowly but steadily growing reputation among professional photographers through the 1950s, the publicity created by NASA's use of Hasselblad products dramatically increased name recognition for the brand.

Ignoring the fishy smells all that we will do is redirect you to the eBay page where you actually get to see (but not feel) the NASA Hasselblad MKWE Kit brand new camera which is still packed and untouched as per the seller. Price tag of above $33,000 is huge so think before you invest.
